Sad to see.

I was in the store with my girlfriend in 1994 and saw Wingfoot's THRU HIKER"S PLANNING GUIDE. I bought the book without her seeing and hid it in my shirt. When I got home I went home to the library (Radford Univ) and checked out every book they had. I read every word I could. I decided to thru-hike that coming spring of 1995. And I did.

Luck had me in that store and fate had that book there.

Good times.

IOne thing that I have never been able to wrap my mind around is the idea of buying boots/shoes over the internet. One manufacturers size 10 will not be the same as another's size 10.
Ya gotta try em on first, right?

Well, that depends. My last 3 pair of boots have been Vasque Clarion, size 10, and when I get my next pair that's what I'll look for. While I've never bought boots mail order I probably could as long as I stick with the tried and true Vasque Clarion.
